I read the book and seen the movie "Water For Elephants". One of the characters drinks ginger extract from Jamaica and they refer that he is suffering from "Jake Leg". I never heard of that before and so, of course, I had to google it to see if it was "for real" or not.

I've not heard of the book, or the movie. If it's a novel, I don't read many novels and I don't watch many movies. But, I'm sure you did have at least enough curiosity to "google" it ... *smile* ... Who wrote the book?

Written by Sara Gruen. I have never read any of her books and I don't remember why I even read her book. It is not the type of book I like, but it was good. The movie starred Reese Witherspoon.
